Hold that thought, for when it doesn't stop!

Hasn’t stopped here for most of the day and more tomorrow.

The forecast was for 16 days of "torrential rain, and thunderstorms". You reckon you can last till its over?

Good morning all.
I went to bed full of good intentions for today but woke up feeling knackered. I will see what the day brings

Good morning. It's deliciously cool here with a light grey sky. Now here's the question. I have two loads of washing waiting to go on the line. Forecast is 50% chance of rain at 07.00 and 08.00 then10% till lunchtime. Do I risk it? Do I put the washing out? Two problems. First it might rain, second, which is much more serious, if I hang the washing out and it rains I'll get one of those "why did you do that?" moments from senior management.

The small one has been negative since Friday so she's coming today. Happiness. I need to start preparing stuff and then head off to collect her. Mrs P will take small one swimming and I'll grab the hoover then, I've done no housework for two weeks as it's been too hot. Veggie stir-fry tonight as we have loads of veggies. I'm off to do some chopping up.

Well, the thunder and mass rain hasn’t really reached the Midlands….a brief spell of light rain yesterday.
I reckon the temps are more conducive to pedalling today 😎👍

Morning. Heavy rain all night which has finally reduced to a slight drizzle here. I was in no rush to get up while it was heavy.

It’s weird to hear the swish of tyres on the wet road outside as it’s been dry for so long. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s made much difference to the river. I think we’ll need a lot more yet to fill it again.

Good morning from a dull and grey Coventry.

I've just put the washing out, I'll see how the weather develops as the day goes on.

I would think that after such a long dry spell the roads will be quite slippery once the rain starts falling.

Roundabouts a bit slippy around here where diesel and oil is coming up with the rain , if youre riding on oldish baldy tyres !

If it were me, I would risk it, put the washing out, then, wear my earbuds for the rest of the day.
